Newport 30-in. Bar Height Directors Chair

Exactly what I expected. Great red color to the canvas and the frames are beautiful with the right amount of shine on the paint. I bought these chairs for awards and I embroidered the backs and they turned out fantastic!

I use the director chairs to facilitate workshops. I do demonstrations in front of the room with students. With the chairs we can sit in comfort and other students can see us easily. Up until now it's been difficult to find a durable, easy-to-assemble, portable chair. This one has it all. [...]

I purchased this chair for use in my makeup artist studio. I am pleased with the quality of this product. It is sturdy and was easy to put together. This chair does not have a footrest that folds up when you fold up the chair (the footrest is screwed into the legs), so it is best used as a permanent fixture, not one that will be used to go from location to location. I have a separate directors chair with a moveable footrest for that purpose, so please keep that in mind when making your purchase.

I am a teacher and wanted to have a taller chair at the front of my classroom Instead of a stool. I love this chair, it is the perfect height and very comfortable! I rarely sit when I teach but there are times that I do and this chair is so much better than the stool I used to have, My husband plans to have the back fabric embroidered with my name.

I was looking for a lightweight chair that could follow my work cart and this was the perfect fit. I am 6'4"" 220lbs so I was a bit worried about the stability of the chair, but it is very sturdy and easily could hold my weight. Definitely would recommend it

I teach weekends at two locations. Therefore, after being diagnosed with neuropathy in both legs, my choices for any high chair as an aid in my situation were to buy two (one for each location), or purchase one that we could break down and easily transport. This chair solved my problem. I install the foot board - using my trusty screwdriver and small wrench - when arriving at one location, and then break the chair down to transport to the next location laying nicely in the back seat of my Chevy Malibu. It meets my needs of availability and portability.

we received our chairs in two days just as promised! great service. The chairs look great, are sturdy and large but the foot bar is not the same quality. you cannot put any pressure on it other than lightly resting your foot but overall the chairs are great for the $$

Looks great, easy to put together. But ths footrest the first day/time I sat on the stool. Very disappointed in that. Emailed Hayneedle about the problem and have not heard back yet. I will revise my review once a resolution is given to me from Hayneedle. I hope these stools were worth the purchase.

As the manager of a rental stage for film and video productions, we provide amenities for our clients, such directors chairs. The price for 30"" and 18"" chairs through Hayneedle seemed like the deal of the century; the specs fit our bill, so I ordered six standard and six tall chairs. Upon delivery of the chairs, I immediately tired to assemble a tall chair. I was a bit baffled by the footrest--it came separately, and it had a large screw and washer on one end and a drilled hole with an independent metal peg for the other end. The high directors chairs I have used in the past had footrests that were attached on one chair leg and swung free onto an affixed peg or ledge on the other leg. This way, the chairs can be quickly picked up, folded, and stored in an instant. After reading the simple directions, I realized the footrest had to be screwed on (no big deal), but I had to lay the chair on the floor and press my weight against it in order to made the hole and pin match up. Once the pin was in flush with the leg, it could not be removed, therefore preventing the chair from being folded. No storage capability. Fortunately, my handy stage manager had some pins with heads on one end. He drilled out the holes to accommodate the pins, then he attached them to the legs with nylon-coated wire to prevent them from getting lost and to easily pull the pins from the legs. Storage and portability is important, so I probably would not have purchased these had I been aware of the foot rest issue. Otherwise, they are attractive, fairly sturdy, and they are comfortable. The 18"" chair are great--they are solid and comfortable, plus the price is right.

Well, the hinges between the legs don't flatten completely and once you put the foot rest on the chair won't fold. Last but not least, it says on the website that this chair is Made In USA, but when I put it together there were tags on the chair that said Made In Thailand. I'm very disappointed! I'll be keeping it though since I need it for vending. I won't be shopping at hayneedle again!
